Witnesses: Juniors Sophomores SENIOR CLASS QF 1927. Freshmen Senior Class Poem fWith apologies to Kiplingj When high school's last lesson is learned And the ink .is faded and dried, When the newest books have grown ancient And the youngest teachers have died, W We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it, And we'll have a good time or two Till Life, in its various phases, Shall set us to working anew. And then shall we find that the lessons We studied have not been in vain. We shall mount with endless succession The steppingfstone leading to fame. From the height of our mountains our thoughts Shall ever return to these years That set our feet onward and upward To victory o'r Life's storms and fears. Katherine Root. 'l Cl ,ei
